Natural wonders of South America

The Amazon River

    The Amazon River is unimaginably long. Starting from the Andes mountains in South America, the Amazon River flows into the Atlantic Ocean after traveling thousands of kilometers. Even imagining the length of the river strains people's minds. With its thousands of tributaries in addition to the river, it irrigates an area as large as South America's approximately Australian continent. In this way, its biological diversity is very high. In the region where river waters flow into the ocean, the ocean changes the color of water up to 320 kilometers.

    According to the report prepared by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), 219,000 cubic meters of water are transported every second from the 1,100 branches of the Amazon River. River waters pass through 7 South American countries along its journey. Starting from Peru, the river passes through Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, and Brazil.

Atacama Desert

    The Atacama Desert is mentioned a lot with its high temperature. Remaining in the northern parts of Chile, the desert experiences a dry period with little rainfall. The diversity of species is low in the Atacama Desert due to the harsh living conditions.

    The air temperature, which is above 30 degrees during the day, is around 10 degrees at night. In a short period of the year, after it rained, it was recorded that nearly 200 plant varieties were grown.

The Colca Canyon

    The Colca Canyon, located at the top of the Andes in Peru, this canyon is the narrowest and deepest canyon in the world. I guess you hear the name of this canyon for the first time because it is not a well-known place.

Panatal river

    The world of watery lagoons and grasslands in central South America, mainly in Brazil. The air responds to their call, and huge masses of wings are like clouds in the sky, and on the ground, American ostriches graze among the deers. A wide variety of animals inhabit the Pantanal, Jacare (Brazilian crocodiles), Furry water guinea pigs (also known as water boars), giant otters, and shy jaguars, perhaps the largest wildlife combination ever seen outside of Africa. Plants and animals of the Pantanal region, which is a natural wonder declared by the United Nations as a World Heritage Site, live in abundance thanks to floods that occur between December and June every year. Colorful birds, mammals, reptiles, and fish are part of the natural beauty of this region, complementing the magnificent landscapes that all visitors admire.
